URGENT: She could die in prison

Nobel peace laureate Narges Mohammadi could die in prison. After brutal beatings, a hunger strike, and now a suspected heart attack, she's been rushed to hospital in critical condition – but without massive pressure, she could be dragged straight back behind bars. Sign now to demand her urgent release — before it's too late. Narges Mohammadi risked everything to defend women’s rights and stop horrific executions in Iran. Now her life is in danger. After years of imprisonment, brutal beatings and abuse, Narges has been rushed to hospital, her chest screaming with pain after a suspected heart attack. Her family fears she could be sent back to prison before she gets the long-term care she urgently needs. But we have a rare moment to push for her freedom: Iran is trying to stabilize a fragile ceasefire, and key governments can press for Narges’ medical leave as a show of goodwill during peace talks – before it's too late. Add your name now and when our call is massive, we’ll push governments to demand immediate and unconditional medical leave for Narges — and freedom for all Iran’s political prisoners:

Nobel peace laureate Narges Mohammadi could die in prison. After brutal beatings, a hunger strike, and now a suspected heart attack, she's been rushed to hospital in critical condition – but without massive pressure, she could be dragged straight back behind bars. Sign now to demand her urgent release — before it's too late. SIGN NOW Dear friends, Narges Mohammadi risked everything to defend women’s rights and stop horrific executions in Iran. Now her life is in danger. After years of imprisonment, brutal beatings and abuse, Narges has been rushed to hospital, her chest screaming with pain after a suspected heart attack. Her family fears she could be sent back to prison before she gets the long-term care she urgently needs. But we have a rare moment to push for her freedom: Iran is trying to stabilize a fragile ceasefire, and key governments can press for Narges’ medical leave as a show of goodwill during peace talks – before it's too late. Add your name now and when our call is massive, we’ll push governments to demand immediate and unconditional medical leave for Narges — and freedom for all Iran’s political prisoners: Release Narges now! Narges faced months of dangerous medical delays before she was rushed to hospital -- and if she is sent back, her family says she will not survive. And freeing Narges could help others: Narges is one of Iran’s most recognized political prisoners. If governments speak her name publicly, it can force scrutiny on the thousands of protesters, journalists, women’s rights defenders, and activists also trapped behind bars. Iran has room to act. Its own wartime provisions allow emergency releases and temporary leave, and authorities already released some prisoners before Nowruz. Granting Narges adequate medical leave would not require a new concessions, but would mean applying powers Iran already claims to have. Our moment is now: In the middle of delicate talks, Iran likely doesn’t want global attention fixed on a woman whose “crime” was speaking up for her fellow citizens. France has raised concern over Narges’s health, the EU has called for her release, and 74 civil society groups are calling for political prisoners to be freed as part of any peace process. Let’s turn these signals into a united roar for freedom: a million-strong call can help push governments with influence over Tehran to demand immediate medical leave for Narges and freedom for thousands of others unjustly imprisoned. Partners are already engaging officials who can influence Iran – add your name now to back them up: Release Narges now! We know our voices matter in cases like this. Avaaz members helped push Pakshan Azizi’s case into the spotlight, and we recently helped Betty escape life-threatening conditions in Moroccan prison. It’s not guaranteed – but when enough of us speak out together, we can make a difference in the lives of those imprisoned for their bravery.

Happening now: Sanctions on Israel

URGENT – Israel’s latest actions in Lebanon and Palestine have finally forced EU leaders to decide on sanctions. NOW is the moment to act. Send a direct message to the leaders of Italy, France, and Germany: For months, Europe has buried its head in the sand as Netanyahu’s violence unleashed in Palestine. Now, with Israel’s latest invasion and bombardment of Lebanon, that position is becoming impossible to sustain. EU leaders will finally meet today to decide whether to impose economic sanctions. Spain is leading the way -- but even Israel’s closest allies such as France, Italy and Germany are under growing pressure to act. This is a turning point. More than a million of us have already spoken out -- now let's focus the pressure on the key blockers. Send your personal message on X or in email and share widely:

Right now in Gaza, over two million people are living through devastation, with over 70,000 people, mostly women and children killed. Israel is on course to seize the West Bank, while destroying thousands of villages, bridges and fields in Southern Lebanon. And still, Europe continues trading with Israel as if nothing has happened. But we have a real chance to change this now if we can be loud enough. Send your direct message to leaders, demanding they suspend the EU-Israel trade agreement. Now. SEND A TWEET: Send your tweet on X now SEND AN EMAIL: If you're not on X, send an email to Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni! This is a moment of reckoning for Europe, and we can remind EU leaders what people-power is capable of. Let’s make it count.

Vanuatu vs Trump

Trump is targeting Vanuatu, for trying to protect all of us from climate catastrophe. The tiny Pacific island nation is bringing a landmark global climate resolution to a vote at the UN in just a few weeks, but the US is pushing them to withdraw. If we overcome Trump’s opposition, this could become a massive milestone in the fight for the safe, liveable future we all deserve. Sign now, and our allies will bring our call straight to key negotiators at the UN in New York: Trump is on the rampage again – trying to force governments to reject plans for action against the climate crisis. Communities across the globe are already facing the consequences of climate breakdown – from floods to fires. But for the tiny island nation of Vanuatu the stakes are even higher: it will be wiped from the map unless we stop burning fossil fuels. So they took a case to the world's highest court, which ruled governments have a legal responsibility to act against climate change. Now the UN could pass a resolution to turn the ruling into real global action. Governments are voting in just a few weeks – but Trump is putting huge pressure on them to reject the plan. A massive show of public support could make the difference. Sign now to help tip the vote:

Vanuatu’s resolution could become a key stepping stone to get us there! It is perhaps the most promising international move for climate this decade. If our governments vote it in, it can fuel domestic climate litigation, strengthen globally coordinated action, and shift the financial burden of climate catastrophes from normal people, onto polluters. So let’s come together to back up Vanuatu’s brave fight. If enough of us join, we’ll work with partners to deliver our call straight to decision makers ahead of the vote: Sign for climate – help tip the vote: The climate crisis is closer than we thought to a point of no return, beyond which runaway global heating can no longer be stopped. But this is our moment to fight for the safe, fair, 100% fossil-free future we know is possible. Let’s unite!
